Depression treatment by telehealth

What depression care looks like here

Depression can show up as sadness, but also as losing the desire to engage with things you used to care about, as physical and mental exhaustion, or as a flat numbness. Care at Mindful Psychiatry starts with a full evaluation, then a plan developed with you and reviewed together at regular check-ins. The plan is meant to change as you do.

Who it helps

Stephanie Ball, PMHNP-BC, sees patients across the lifespan, from age six through the end of life, anywhere in Missouri. That includes people who have tried treatment before without the result they hoped for. A past plan that did not work is not a dead end. It usually tells us where to start.

The first visit, from home

When energy is low, getting to an office can feel like one more obstacle. Here, every visit is by secure video. Start with a free 15-minute consultation. The comprehensive evaluation is 60 minutes and covers your history, your current situation, and what you want to be different. You come away with diagnostic clarity and a written plan in plain language, followed by 30-minute check-ins.

Treatment options

Depending on what you need, a plan may include medication management, supportive psychotherapy with talk-based CBT and mindfulness, or a combination. If labs are clinically appropriate, they are coordinated through Quest Diagnostics or your primary care provider.
